Billy Gardell’s 5 most popular quotes

• I come from a working-class family in Pittsburgh, whereas ‘Mike & Molly’ deals with the working class in Chicago. I swear a little, but I pretty much talk the same. It’s not like when you see someone like Tim Allen and he’s a lot bluer onstage.
• I’m from Minnesota! I used to work Knuckleheads at the Mall of America as a stand-up. I spent New Year’s there once. I’m not trying to namedrop.
• Stand-up will always come first. I’ve been doing it for 22 years, and nothing compares to that connection you have with the audience. It’s euphoric.
• I always like to find those little mom-and-pop sandwich places, or diners. Those are my favorite kind of places.
• And what’s great is, you know, while ‘Mike and Molly’ are working on their health, that’s their flaw, the people that surround them are actually- that’s the mess. Those two have it together the most.
